Going with the Gospel

What is the basic purpose of any church? As part of our mission plan, we put it like this:

The Parish of Northaw and Cuffley exists to glorify God, to grow disciples, and to share the good news of the gospel in word and action.

We’ve come to the last of our four weeks looking at this purpose together. Over the past three weeks we’ve considered Knowing the Gospel, Growing in the Gospel, and Showing the Gospel. For our final Sunday, we’re thinking about how we can be Going with the Gospel.

Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:18-20)

Jesus gives all of his disciples the instruction to make more disciples here, there, and everywhere. There is nowhere that we are not to go and make disciples. This commission should be at the heart of all that we do.

You would be very welcome to join us at our 10:30am service of Holy Communion in St Andrew, Cuffley, or at 8:30am for a service of Holy Communion in St Thomas, Northaw, this Sunday, as we look together at how we can be Going with the Gospel.

The 10:30am Sunday morning service will be taking place simultaneously online and in-person at St Andrew.  Streaming for the 10:30am service will start at 10:25am, and can be accessed directly via Facebook or YouTube, found on our website, and is advertised on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
